Fish Assemblages in Nearshore Habitats of Prince William Sound, Alaska
We sampled fish at eight locations in western Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska, in April, July, and September 2006, and July 2007, to identify species assemblages and habitat use. At each location, fish were sampled with a 37-m long variable mesh beach seine in three nearshore habitats: bedrock outcrops, eelgrass meadows, and cobble beaches with kelp. A total of 49,060 fish representing 45 sp...
متن کاملWinter Philopatry of Harlequin Ducks in Prince William Sound, Alaska
We used capture-mark-recapture data to assess winter philopatry by Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) in Prince William Sound, Alaska, during winters 1995–1997 and 2000–2001. Philopatry was quantified using homing rates, which were estimated as the proportion of birds recaptured at their original site out of all recaptured birds. Between-year homing rates of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.87–1.00) an...
متن کاملRestoration of oiled mussel beds in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Consequently, experimental restoration of nine contaminated beds was attempted in 1994; mussels were removed, contaminated surface sediment was replaced (33 metric tons), and original mussels we...
متن کاملThe Prince William Sound Risk Assessment
After the grounding of the Exxon Valdez and its subsequent oil spill, all parties with interests in Prince William Sound (PWS) were eager to prevent another major pollution event. While they implemented several measures to reduce the risk of an oil spill, the stakeholders disagreed about the effectiveness of these measures and the potential effectiveness of further proposed measures. They forme...
متن کاملOrigin of the Late Eocene Eshamy Suite Granitoids in Western Prince William Sound, Alaska
The Eshamy suite plutons (ESP) are in the midst of the Sanak-Baranof (SB) belt, a series of neartrench, Paleocene to Eocene granitic intrusions into the Chugach-Prince William (CPW) terrane flysch along the southern margin of Alaska (Fig.1, Garver and Davidson, this volume and references therein). Intruded from 62-48 Ma, west-to-east migration of a subducting north-south-striking mid-ocean ridg...
